How Practice Order Helps Dental Students Learn Tooth Prep
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how different practice schedules help dental students learn a specific tooth preparation skill (onlay work). It's designed for fourth- to sixth-year students at one dental school who have the right background but no prior onlay experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a fourth-, fifth-, or sixth-year dental student (undergraduate).
- If you're a fifth- or sixth-year student, you must have already passed your lab and lecture courses in operative and fixed dental prosthodontics (crown and bridge work).
- If you're a fourth-year student, you must be currently taking your final lab and lecture course in fixed prosthodontics.
- You must not have any prior experience doing onlay preparations in a lab or clinic.
- You must be willing to follow the study procedures.

This study asks dental students at Cairo University about their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of special care dentistry. It helps understand how future dentists are prepared to treat patients with special needs.
This trial tests a new AI-powered digital tool that helps dental students self-check their tooth preparations. If you are a third-year preclinical dental student who has completed the basic course but hasn't used digital assessment tools before, you may be able to join this study to see if the AI tool improves your skills.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality haptic simulator (a tool that lets you feel like you're drilling on a real tooth) or a mobile app helps dental students learn root canal procedures better than traditional training alone. Participants will practice on extracted teeth after using one of these tools.
This study compares how well two different 3D-printed resin fillings (called 'overlays') hold up over 18 months on back teeth that have large cavities or broken fillings. It involves up to 3 visits and aims to find the best way to prepare the tooth for the filling.
This trial tests two different types of onlay restorations (like custom fillings) for back teeth that have moderate damage but are still healthy. It is designed for adults with good oral hygiene and no active gum disease or grinding habits.
This trial looks at how understanding dental cavities (caries) and living at university affect dental students. It may help improve how dental education is taught.
